An ironical laugh burst from the driver. "Oh, yes in the stable or barn in course. But, my eyes sorter failin' me, mebbee, now, some ev you younger folks will kindly pint out the stable or barn of the Kernel's. Woa! will ye? woa! Give me a chance to pick out that there barn or stable to put ye in!" This in arch confidence to the horses, who had not moved.
Wit, like tierce-claret, when't begins to pall, Neglected lies, and's of no use at all, But, in its full perfection of decay, Turns vinegar, and comes again in play. Thou hast a brain, such as it is indeed; On what else mould thy worm of fancy feed? Yet in a Filbert I have often known Maggots survive when all the kernel's gone.
"Yes," replied Stiles, in answer to his companion's question, "I'm going over to-night allers makin' due 'lowance for bein' ketched by the Yanks." "Here's some mail, then," continued the man, thrusting several letters into the bag. "How soon do you start?" "Jest as soon as Tibbs comes with the up-country mail, an' I get the kernel's letters. Was you takin' a chaw of tobaker, Bob?"
"I reckon we kin put the new preacher in Kernel Starbottle's room," said Miss Morvin, the housekeeper. "The kernel's going to-night." "Oh," said the widow in a tone of relief, but whether at the early departure of the gallant colonel or at the successful solution of the problem of lodging the preacher, Miss Morvin could not determine.

*R. Crowley is his preface to Piers Ploughman, printed in 1550. I hope that you will be among those who will not "stick to break the shell of the nut for the kernel's sake," and that although the "sense be somewhat dark" you will some day read the book for yourselves. Meantime in the next chapter I will tell you a little more about it.
"I pray for each one of them day by day," he said. Soon Gordon's class grew too big for his room to hold, and he then began to have a class at the Ragged Schools. The mud-larks of Gravesend needed no coaxing to go to "The Kernel's" class.
On'y strangers dat don't know no better come yere." "But suppose your master should drop in? It's quite convenient to his rooms." "Marse Harry in a barber-shop!" said the old man with a silent laugh. "Skuse me, sah," he added, with an apologetic mixture of respect and dignity, "but fo' twenty years no man hez touched de Kernel's chin but myself.
He had Damon by the neck, an' he was makin' him walk turkey, now I tell yer." "Damon ketched!" ejaculated his companion. "An' what's come on the kernel's mail?" "Gone up the hul on it! Damon's got the bracelets on by this time. But come, let's go on." All this while the rebels had been coming up, and Archie could hear them in the woods, on all sides of him, yelling and swearing, like demons.
"You collect his rents, don't you?" said Paul, quietly. "Yes, sah." "Much?" "Well, no, sah; not so much as fom'ly, sah! Yo' see, de Kernel's prop'ty lies in de ole parts ob de town, where de po' white folks lib, and dey ain't reg'lar.
